Last week while farting around on etsy I stumbled across someone's shop and felt instantly inspired. They make their own buttons with perfectly adorable pictures in them. They are cast resin buttons... that's right guys, I'm hopping on that boat! My mind was immediately running wild, I could come up with so many ideas, SO MANY!
So I've done my research, I went out and bought the new things I would need, I was just so excited, I dove in head first. Instant gratification? Ugh no. This part of the design process and crafting is incredibly disheartening. You try so hard to nail it perfectly, you can see the end result in your head and it's just perfect, everything you wanted it to be... it's just a crock of shit kids. It takes time, patience, and determination to get that end result. At this point in time I'm still knee deep in it, I'm cautiously optimistic, and I'm going to keep swimming, just keep swimming.
So these are my little minions so far, and by minions I mean buttons. Am I taking on too much? Have I lost my mind? Am I dreaming too big? Good god, I'm not sure. Everyone, please, please, keep your fingers crossed that my process continues to move gayly forward otherwise be prepared for, well I'm not sure about that either.
A little too Debbie Downer? I'm reading you loud and clear... I have ordered my business cards and they are on their way! Hot damn! Everyone will be getting one and I don't really care if you don't want one. :)
I'm off to work a little bit on my 'old fashioned' button plugs. Keep your eyes out for the new ones posted.
Signing off,
